She's Out Of My League

It's funny, and kinda sweet, but they shouldn't classify it as comedy. It's sci-fi/fantasy.

Jay Baruchel stars as Kirk - an average looking (OK, maybe geeky looking is a better way to put it, or 90-pound weakling, or king of the nerd universe) TSA security agent at the Pittsburgh airport. A guy with a kind and decent soul, Kirk is trying to recover from a broken heart, when the amazing, gorgeous, stunning, angelic Molly (Alice Eve) loses her cell phone while going through security. He finds it, and she invites him to a party to return it.

From there, it looks like unlikely love is in bloom as Molly and Kirk start spending more time together, and none of their friends or family can believe the beauty will stay with the beast, not even Kirk himself.

Is it true love?

Does Kirk have what it takes to win Molly's heart?

She's Out Of My League will make you laugh on every level from witty one-liners to outright raunchy gross out humor. Writers Sean Anders and John Morris come up with many hilarious situations, great dialogue among the guy pals as the four sad sacks try to analyze the situation and provide sage advice, and make Molly into the woman of every man's dreams (inside and out).

Alice Eve makes sure Molly is sweet and wonderful enough for you to possibly believe a woman as beautiful as her would actually be more interested in a guy for his soul than for his six-pack abs (believe it for maybe 5 minutes, which is longer than you would expect going into the movie). She has a charm that goes beyond her obvious good looks, which helps She's Out Of My League. While Baruchel is holding back too much, even for a guy who is supposed to be sad and shy, Eve shines.

Then, we get T.J. Miller making us laugh in the Vince Vaughn role of fast talking, inappropriate quote machine, best buddy Stainer. Most of the time, he's funny, but trying a bit too hard at other times. Mostly, I wish it looked like he was engaging with the other characters instead of staring into space most of the movie, but he gets enough good lines to make you forgive the negatives.

When it gets serious, She's Out Of My League loses momentum, and we all have a good idea how it will end. Also, the movie is almost too guy-centered. The audience needs better dialogue for Molly and her best pal, Patty (Krysten Ritter) to balance things out, even if this is more of a dudes' movie.

She's Out Of My League is rated R for language and sexual content.
